An important theme in modern research on productivity has been that technological progress may be embodied in capital in the sense that traditional measures of TFP growth reflect unmeasured improvements in the quality of ...

In this paper we directly test the proposed productivity hierarchy of direct, indirect
and non-exporters using firm-level data from 105 developing and transition countries. Using both regression analysis and propensity ...

The impact of international trade on firm productivity is tested by accounting for firms' import as well as export status for a large panel of Irish manufacturing firms. Two-way traders and exporters-only are found to be ...
We develop a theoretical model of the dynamics of an industry over the business cycle. In the economy, both aggregate demand and the productivity of a firm's technology evolve stochastically. Each period, firms must choose ...
We study the dynamics of an industry subject to aggregate demand shocks where the productivity of a firm’s technology evolves stochastically over time. To characterize the intertemporal evolution
of the distribution of ...
We study the dynamics of an industry subject to aggregate demand shocks where the productivity of a firm’s technology evolves stochastically over time. Each period, each firm, given the aggregate demand shock, the productivity ...

This paper analyses how international outsourcing affects plant productivity, with the major contribution lying in the identification of heterogeneous effects for firms with differing internationalisation status. The results ...
Despite the widespread popularity of the Solow growth model, much of the recent empirical work based on the classic framework misrepresents a crucial feature of the model. Namely, the growth rate of technological progress, ...
